I have been thinking and thinking, but I cannot come up with a fun "catch phrase" to use for the small changes I make each day to reach the final goal. For now I'm going to call it, "Small Steps to the Big Finish Line." I don't really like it, but other ideas are swirling in my head. When the right one hits me, I'll know it, and I guess you'll l know it, too!
SMALL STEPS FOR JANUARY 30TH
(MY BEST GIRL'S BIRTHDAY) HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MADDIE!
INSTEAD I cooked two egg whites and skipped the cheese and the mayo. Thought about using one slice of bread but, gosh, I just love my carbs!
I ended up at the drive-thru last night with a raging hunger headache(poor planning on my part). I normally would have ordered a double cheeseburger and a caramel sundae.
INSTEAD I ordered a grilled chicken wrap and a fruit and yogurt parfait. It wasn't half bad!
I needed to be somewhere at 2pm. As I was writing this blog I looked at the clock and it was 1pm. I hadn't showered or gotten ready. Usually I would just go and start to get ready about 45 minutes to an hour before I had to be somewhere.
INSTEAD I took the first 15 minutes of that time and turned on Excercise TV On Demand and found a 13 minute yoga class. I did it and THEN showered.
I'm pretty proud of myself. And the thing I really like about this is that I don't think I'll look at food as forbidden. I'll just make the small changes and pray that the math works. I think it probably will. Three small changes a day equals 21 small changes a week. And that's 840 changes in the 40 weeks. That's quite a few changes!
Have a great day, everyone!
Alot of times my breakfast of choice is an egg sandwich. I will take two pieces of bread, put some mayo and a slice of cheese on it, and one or two eggs, depending on how hungry I am.

Good job, Janet. You can do it! Looks like you are picking better choices and motivating me to do the same. Love ya, girl.
ReplyDeleteJanet, here's something else to motivate you...at the end of 40 days when you have successfully completed this, I will give you a free massage:) Good luck! You are going to do great!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Janet,
ReplyDeleteJust a few tips Greg followed when he lost 40 pounds a couple of years ago. No dairy! Dairy is really fattening. Also, try whole grains instead of white (pasta, breads, etc.). He also stopped using salt. Also, read the labels! No processed food, hydrogenated foods, or high fructose corn syrup. All the products that are listed as fat-free, etc. actually have more calories in them and are more fattening than the full fat versions. Also, no pop and no fast food. By following these tips I even lost weight when I wasn't even trying to. Drink lots of water! Good luck girl! Love ya! Jane
